Possible New States
Despite the United states having 46 total states (was 58 from 2038-2046), there are other proposals to create new states both in the United States and Internationally.
Quebec
In Quebec, there is a big debate for Quebecois to seceed from Canada and become the United States's 47th State. Parti 47 (revived from the former political party Parti 51) has become a major political party in Quebec and its causing widespread influences throughout Quebec. Parti 47 has mayors in 17 of the 20 biggest cities including Montreal, and Quebec City. If Quebec becomes the 59th State, they will have to make English their official language with French as a secondary regional language.
State of Columbia
People in Washington D.C. are considering making the District of Columbia to become the 47th state. In a Washington D.C. Gallup poll, 54% of people want statehood, 43% Do not want it, and 3% are not sure. The movement continues to be strong but so far, it is still the District of Columbia.
